Fans of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim share and discuss the worst areas in the game. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is set in a massive open world that allows gamers to explore a wide variety of areas and regions. Not every town or location in Skyrim is going to be universally liked, as different areas may appeal to different users as they play through the game.
For example, there are plenty of beautiful cities in the world of Skyrim, but some others are not the best places to live. Earlier this year, Skyrim fans held a debate on the worst city in the game, with Winterhold, Morthal, Windhelm, and Riften receiving a ton of votes. Now, some players have a discussion on the locations they dislike the most in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
A Reddit user named hecatetheguitarist made a new post asking Skyrim fans to name their most disliked location in the game, and it has received over 800 comments in under 24 hours. Many users name Soul Cairn as the worst area in Skyrim, with several gamers claiming to have gotten lost while exploring it. Another user says that the whole landscape of the Soul Cairn location lacks variety, before stating that the rewards were not worth traveling across the area.
It looks like a few gamers hate The Ratway in Skyrim, while a couple of users mention disliking Faldar's Tooth. Winterhold was prominently featured in the discussion about Skyrim’s worst city, and it unsurprisingly returns in the comments section of this post. In particular, players seem to hate Winterhold when playing Skyrim in survival mode, a new gameplay option that makes Skyrim a lot harder for gamers looking for a challenge.
In addition to these locations, some users also hate the Dwemer ruins in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, while other players share their dislike for a couple of the dungeons available in the game. Overall, it looks like different players have unique opinions on the worst area in Skyrim, and there doesn’t appear to be a single universally hated location in the game.
While fans dislike a variety of areas in this world, there are plenty of other beautiful locations in Skyrim for players to explore. This list includes Blackreach, Sovngarde, Forgotten Vale, Ancestor Glade, and more, as some of these places offer gorgeous visuals and scenery to users willing to make the trip.
